Thursday 5th September : Free-Fermion Entanglement and Time and Band Limiting

Title: Free-Fermion entanglement and Time and Band Limiting Speaker: Luc Vinet (Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM)) Abstract: We shall discuss entanglement open finite free-Fermion chains associated with families of discrete orthogonal polynomials and present a simple construction for… Read More

Wednesday 4th September : STP Seminar – Poisson-Lie Analogues of Spin Sutherland Model

Title: Poisson-Lie Analogues of Spin Sutherland Model Speaker: Dr. Feher Laszlo (Wigner Research Centre, Budapest) Abstract: We present generalizations of the well-known trigonometric spin Sutherland models, which were derived by Hamiltonian reduction of ‘free motion’ on cotangent bundles… Read More

Tuesday 23rd July : STP Seminar – Loop measures and isomorphism theorems for space-time random walks

Title: Loop measures and isomorphism theorems for space-time random walks Speaker: Dr. Stefan Adams (University of Warwick) Abstract: Loop measures have become important in the analysis of random walks and their applications in mathematical physics and are currently… Read More

Thursday 18th July : STP Seminar – Conformal symmetry breaking and self-similar spirals

Title: Conformal symmetry breaking and self-similar spirals Jacob Bernoulli’s Spira Mirabilis set free Speaker: Dr. Jemal Guven (ICN, UNAM ) Abstract: Self-similar curves are a recurring motif in nature. They also arise naturally as tension-free stationary states of… Read More

Tuesday 25th June : STP Seminar – Proving 5D AGT conjecture and Duality under Changing Preferred Directions

Title: Proving 5D AGT conjecture and Duality under Changing Preferred Directions Speaker: Masayuki Fukuda (University of Tokyo) Abstract: We give a proof for the factorization property of the arbitrary matrix elements of the multi-valent intertwining operator (or refined… Read More

Thursday 20th June : STP Seminar – Noncommutative algebraic structures

Title: Noncommutative algebraic structures Speaker: Natalia Iyudu (University of Edinburgh) Abstract: I will talk on one particular structure called pre-Calabi-Yau algebra. It was introduced around 2005 in attempt to describe a TQFT in case of open strings. This… Read More

Tuesday 18th June : STP Seminar – Surface Operators in 4d/2d Duality on TQFT picture of 4d N=2 Argyres-Douglas Theories

Title: Surface Operators in 4d/2d Duality on TQFT picture of 4d N=2 Argyres-Douglas Theories Speaker: Ruidong Zhu (DIAS) Abstract: In this talk, I will first give a brief review on the TQFT picture of 4d N=2 supersymmetric gauge… Read More

Thursday 13th June : STP Seminar – Geometry of branes from matrix models

Title: Geometry of branes from matrix models Speaker: Takaki Matsumoto (DIAS) Abstract: Matrix models are conjectured to give non-perturbative and constructive formulations of string and M theories. In the matrix models, various branes such as strings or membranes… Read More

Wednesday 29th May : STP Seminar – Microscopic description of Schwarzschild black hole from quantum field theory

Title: Microscopic description of Schwarzschild black hole from quantum field theory Speaker: Dr. Masanori Hanada (University of Southampton/Keio University) Abstract: The gauge/gravity duality relates black hole and QFT. In particular, the ‘small black hole’ in AdS5*S5, which is essentially… Read More

Tuesday 28th May : STP Seminar – Torsion and spin in holographic Lovelock Chern-Simons gravity

Title: Torsion and spin in holographic Lovelock Chern-Simons gravity Speaker: Gallegos Pazos (University of Utrecht) Abstract: The use of holography in the study of strongly coupled systems with a non-trivial spin current will be discussed. The incorporation of… Read More
